Weeders

He spent 10 years building his backyard sanctuary one planting at a time. It was manicured to perfection, not a blade of grass out of place, or so he thought. It was the first time she'd been to his house and they'd only been out a couple of times before. He watched her eyes furtively roving the garden while she sipped her G&T on the patio. It was a glorious night. The talk was effortless. But that night he knew she was the "one" when in mid-sip, she set her glass down unable to resist the impulse to get up and pull a weed. Ten years and two kids later, it's her garden too, weed free thanks to her passion for detail and a little help from Fiskars.
